Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs such as Emotional ABCs help establish strong emotional competency skills that often overlap with other modalities specific to the needs of a child with anxiety. Particularly, Emotional ABCs helps children identify and communicate their emotions (self-awareness), and shows children an easy-to-use, repeatable sequence of behaviors to help regulate emotions (self-management).

How Social Emotional Learning Helps Children with Anxiety
“It’s regarding a child’s interactions with others that the SEL philosophy really makes a difference. For example, a teacher might validate the feelings of a child who is showing signs of anxiety by saying “I see that you are feeling sad right now. What might you do right now to help yourself feel better?” SEL programming also helps kids recognize and label their emotions, learn to cope with them and, importantly, resolve conflicts.”
